Andrew Patrick Wood (January 8, 1966 – March 19, 1990) was an Seattle musician best known as the lead singer for alternative rock bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The bands were often cited as being among the “founding fathers” of the Seattle’s grunge movement. During his time in Malfunkshun, Wood started relying heavily on drugs, entering rehab in 1985.
Fellow Seattle band Alice in Chains dedicated their debut album Facelift to Wood. The song “Would?”, included in their second album Dirt and on the soundtrack to the film Singles (1992), was written as an ode to Wood. In the liner notes of Alice in Chains’ Music Bank box set collection, Jerry Cantrell said of the song:
“I was thinking a lot about Andrew Wood at the time. We always had a great time when we did hang out, much like Chris Cornell and I do. There was never really a serious moment or conversation, it was all fun. Andy was a hilarious guy, full of life and it was really sad to lose him.”
